Quote of the Year: “At this point, the big question is: Why are they fighting so hard against letting voters decide this issue? The answer of course: They know they'll lose when this reaches the ballot." newschannel5.com/news/newsch…
Today’s attendance at the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway is, in a word, pathetic. And none of them are from Nashville. #RestoreOurFairgrounds to green space.
ICYMI: The Confederate flag was on fully display this weekend at the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway. When @aftynbehn4tn and @ZachYoungTN and @Oliviafornash say we need to protect the speedway’s “culture,” this must be what they mean ⬇️
Is it just us? Or were there literally, like, 10 spectators at this weekend’s big @FAIRGROUNDSNASH race? Clearly, it’s time to restore the speedway site to its original use as community green space.

Fairgrounds Speedway vote cleared for ballot, faces new legal challenge tennessean.com/story/news/lo…
Today’s certification is a victory for tens of thousands of Nashvillians who want to vote on the future of public land in the center of our city. The choice is simple: Neighborhoods versus out-of-town tourists. Green space versus asphalt. Affordable housing versus out-of-state racetrack billionaires. Clean water versus water that’s polluted by oil and grease from the speedway. Onward!
Uncommonly objective reporting by the pro-sports trade pubs. “The billionaire on the other side is Marcus Smith of Speedway Motorsports Inc., who wants the support of the county … a number that was reportedly $164 million.” essentiallysports.com/nascar…
Quote of the Year: “Would you rather partner with local philanthropists who share our city’s values to restore green space, clean our water and address the city’s affordable housing issues? Or would you rather partner with an out of state racetrack billionaire who wants to bring more pollution, more traffic, more noise and more debt for our city’s taxpayers?” nashvillebanner.com/2026/09/…
Empty boxes ready to be loaded with thousands upon thousands of pages of signed petitions. I hope we’ve got enough boxes to carry all of it. #FinalLap 🏇
This week’s anti-green space spam emails released by @CalvertStreet and @DardenForTN contained this gem. Thanks for the assist, boys! cc: @MarcusSMI
Oh, look: There's a thoughtful plan to remake the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway site into something that's "greener, cleaner." #SignThePetition
A judicial magistrate has found “good cause” to restrain @DardenForTN’s goon from stalking our petition canvassers, who include young women, people of color, and recent @MetroSchools graduates. fox17.com/news/local/judge-o…

Excellent! A speedway supporter likens the speedway to a landfill. “You don’t move inside a dump and complain about the smell.” Hey @DardenForTN Your media training is slipping! cc: @MarcusSMI

True story. “A Nashville coalition trying to hit the brakes on auto-racing at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway said its petitioners are getting attacked and harassed while canvassing the community.”
